About the Greenville Housing Fund



In 2016, the City of Greenville conducted a year-long affordable housing study, which resulted in the "Balancing Prosperity and Housing Affordability in Greenville" report. The report included a recommendation to create a Housing Trust Fund to receive and disburse money to support the production and preservation of affordable housing units.

In January 2017, City Council appropriated $2 million to establish a housing trust fund and in March 2018, the Greenville Housing Fund, a 501c3 organization operating under the existing Community Works umbrella, opened its doors. 

The Greenville Housing Fund has three goals: serve as an advocate and champion for affordable housing in Greenville; invest in affordable housing development and purchase land for affordable housing development. 

While GHF will initially invest in projects that provide affordable housing for households with annual incomes between $15,000 and $55,000, it has the flexibility to move beyond these limits as project and market conditions allow.
